A driving tour through Northwest Crossing
Designed to be lived in on foot
Northwest Crossing is a master-planned, mixed-use community built around tree-lined streets, sidewalks, front porches, and alley-accessed garages — the kind of layout that puts neighbors on their porches instead of behind their garage doors. The result is one of Bend’s most recognized and sought-after Westside neighborhoods, where architectural guidelines (ARC) and CC&Rs keep the streetscape consistent and property values protected.
